Precautions to curb wandering for autistic children

Experts suggest locks and alarms on doors and windows and stop signs in the home. ID bracelets or tracking devices help monitor the child. The National Autism Association recommends swimming lessons for special needs and a family emergency plan. Notify local emergency services and trusted neighbors about wandering patterns.
